Attn: old school amp gurus

I Just aquired a BNIB. Phase Linear PLA-200 2 ch amp. All wires/connectors never used. Still has all packing foam, warranty sheet, test sheet (dated November of 91) and the manual. Not a scratch on this thing. Does anyone have any experience with these amps and know what they are worth? I can't seem to find any info on them.

Yes it was. My dad who was into car audio in the early to mid 80s said jenson used to be really good stuff. But he had no clue about phase linear. I bought this because it was a good deal (i think) and it's made I. The USA so I figured it should be pretty decent.

I had a Jensen amp from that era ages ago and I couldn't kill it. Didn't make a ton of power but was really solid.

A nib clean100x2 @4ohm should atleast be worth $150 shipped but depends someone might be willing to pay more if they had one year's ago. It might also be hard to sell being that its not a nuthugger brand

Yeah I can find a lot of info on the old carver made home audio. And the best part is I got it for $40 bucks
